Let's Win the New Yorker Caption Contest

"Those that gnome gno I don't do things by halves"

"when i found whoever has scrawled joseph farris on the back of my couch, then and only then, shall i deal with this unexpected easter island head on my lawn. now, where has my wife got herself to? the mcgivens are due any minute."

part 1/20

"lol drugs"

why is there a handle on his table lamp

it's a lamp/torch hybrid

anyhow, why the long face amirite

"Holy shit the statue's sunk"

"how did that get there?"

"uh?"

"Oy! Look at me when I'm talking to you!"

"Drat, it's Tuesday again!"

"already? it seems like it was christmas island just yesterday."

"I wonder what its purpose is."

For a collapsed civilization, they still know how to troll.

"What? There was no window here yesterday!"

"IT'S STILL THERE!"

xpost ruined now.

soz bruv

conrad's the best do far i think?

i wd expect some variation of conrad's to be in the places, yeah

This one?

"already? it seems like it was christmas island just yesterday."

y

it's aloof, it's clever, it know it's clever, it smells of ink and paper, it's got that urgency about it, that want.

i'm in negotiations to turn this display name riff into a sitcom btw

xps none of those are half as good as mine, is zs doing his job here at all

nope!

i think i've only submitted once

aw what? MODS

you don't understand, i've been really busy every single night for the last three and a half years

my best work , you bastard, my best work has been neglected in order to do this *breaks down*

you know you can submit too, right? not trying to be a smartass - for some reason i assumed that only u.s. citizens could enter, but the rules say "any legal resident of the United States or Canada (except residents of the province of Quebec), Australia, United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland, age eighteen or over can enter, except employees, agents, or representatives of Sponsor or any other party associated with the development or administration of the Contest, or any member of their immediate family."

unless you're sleeping with a representative of the sponsor

now he tells us

i'm gonna get kicked off the new yorker caption contest thread, aren't i?

"i knew it was too early in the relationship to give her the ear"

niiice

Yeah, I always get a SQL code breakdown page.

conrad: i lol'd

Yeah, I always get a SQL code breakdown page.

maybe their CMS can't handle UK post codes or something and nobody has bothered to fix it?

"Here we go again ...! (roll credits)"

"This monument must be a poignant symbol of the gradual decline of our society into a self-imposed oblivion."

"There's no need to be big headed!"

"It's great to be a member of the nouveau riche."

this is a really dumb one given that the lead character clearly isn't talking to anyone or even saying anything
feel like a caption has to be in a narrator voice or used as a title to frame the image

also i can't unsee the handle on the lamp

"I need to quit drunkenly browsing Ebay."

ha!

OTM -- the only caption that really works is "Whaaaaaa?!"

"THAT SPIDER HAS GONE, JILL"

"how 'bout a little head?"

"Las Vegas is officially the worst place on Earth."
